Adding in KB windmills to my routine and wanted to see how you guys are programming them. Thinking of using the ladder progression from ETK. Or just sets of 3-5 each side. Goal is to get comfortable with the 32kg. Just started doing them and 24kg is super comfortable. I’m currently using 40kg on my gets ups but I wanted to try these out for a while. Thanks for any feedback
 
Are you programming them as a prep, primary, or accessory movement?

If its a prep or accessory you are pretty safe sticking with sets between 1-8/side depending on load and intention. Prep can be higher in reps, accessory lower, etc.

If you are using a windmill with a 32kg as a primary training goal than mixing in days of sets, rep ladders, weight ladders, or density work is a great way to get there. As always, the goal matters most.

If possible I would work with a Level 2 instructor to dial in your technique and learn some tension and mobility drills that can help. That is usually good for a bell size or 2.

Hope this helps!
 
Right now I’m just using them as accessory movements to my primary barbell movements. Thanks for the feedback
